Andreas Samaris: Analysis of João Mário's Potential at AEK

Andreas Samaris, on Athletiko's "Build Up" on YouTube, analyzed João Mário's transfer to AEK. Joining Demis Nikolaidis and Michalis Tsochos, Samaris described João Mário as a player who can offer a lot to the team.

Samaris emphasized: "He is not a winger like Eliasson. In a 4-4-2 he can play as an inside midfielder... His position is 8-10, behind the striker. He is calm in the game, he has the clarity to make the right decisions."

He also mentioned: "He wants the vertical game, he tries it... He really likes to play between the lines, how he takes the ball, how calm he is with ball control. That's what I saw in João Mário of Benfica."
